Good upgrade from stock
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really didn’t have a problem with the radio. Just wasn’t the best for my set up. It only has one dedicated preout for aftermarket amps also it only boast a 2 volt preout. Not a lot of functions either compared to other units which give 3-5 times more control over audio. Loved the full display

Very happy with this head unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with the head unit. I occasionally have problems connecting, but i think that is due to the number of bluetooth devices that I have connected to my phone, not the head unit itself. The sound quality is incredible, it really brought the stock Toyota speakers to life in my 2010 Toyota Venza. The touch screen is very responsive, and the backup camera that I had installed looks great on its screen. Would definitely recommend.

Android auto wireless!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wireless Android auto is the best. A couple moments after the radio comes online, the maps automatically load. The interface with satellite radio / Sirius XM is great. After the much needed firmware update you are able to fast-forward rewind and pause live satellite, just like you would any other DVR. The sound isn't as good as the previous model XAVAX3250, but should do well enough for most people. The box advertises screen mirroring capabilities but I never found it. I would buy this unit again just for the wireless Android Auto capabilities. Also works with Apple Play.

Good unit on sale - despite the resistive screen
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was initially hesitant as it has a resistive screen and not capacitive, however, I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the screen. However, a couple of things that are of bother at this time, but should only take some getting used to/are limits of Android Auto, is you can't customize the screen for a default layout in Android Auto and if you so much as step out of the vehicle a few steps with your phone it breaks the connection. I wisht the middle button was more customizable past "Source" or "Mute".

Very good head unit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good unit, I have them in two vehicles. I like that I can use the steering wheel controls. My only concern is ease of installation. I find if a bit difficult to mount unit due to the single din size of the body of the unit. Other than that this is a great stereo.

Posted .Hi RobertM,
We are pleased to hear that you like our receiver so much that you have installed it in two of your vehicles! We appreciate your feedback regarding the installation process; while the single-DIN chassis is designed to provide extra space for cable management, we understand it can present unique mounting challenges in certain dashboards.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Great receiver - connects perfectly
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this on installer's recommendation. He said Sony was on top of current technology and connectivity and he was right. The ease of connecting with CarPlay and use of voice commands is excellent. It connects instantly with whomever uses the car (and of course has previously connected.

Works great, it's a Sony!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best feature of this device is the matte-finish screen. Glossy screens tend to reflect a lot of sunlight, making them unreadable, whereas the matte finish minimizes that issue quite a bit.
